There's definitely a push towards jumping into larger deals without adequate credentials based on the "team" approach concept where one can assemble a team of capital raisers, deal hunters & guarantors who all become CO-GP's. 

These costly improvements are pushing rents up.While effective rents (factoring in concessions) may be declining, asking rents remain high as landlords aim to maintain their property value.

Hey There @Scott Bogue - First just a heads up - YOU ARE NOT ALONE & YOU WILL PERCEIVER!

I would suggest a sit down talk about this to give the others in the unit a heads up of the coming changes.

As a GC by trade, I have subs every week pushing to do more in a certain area saying 'You can just charge more for the house.' 

The market determines price based on supply/demand and if you think there's not enough supply - then go ahead and increase the price. 

If they’re dragging their feet after 60 days, push hard.

I've been on time freedom for years because of real estate.What you will see about teams, and what people in the business who know things will tell you, is that I was way ahead of the curve dropping my team.

Hey Jack,First off, huge congratulations on taking this step at just 20..you've got a bright future ahead in real estate!

It may make sense to go ahead and save up more money while you can by living at home.
